We Are Hungry
Song Meaning
Jesus Culture builds this one around physical need-language rather than abstract devotion — hunger, thirst, breath — treating spiritual desire as something as basic and involuntary as the body's own needs. 'Living Water rain down on me' reaches for John 7:38's promise that whoever believes will have 'rivers of living water' flow from within, and 'living Breath of Life come fill me up' pairs that thirst with an equally physical image of breathing.
'We are hungry... we are thirsty for more of You' echoes John 6:35's claim that coming to Jesus satisfies hunger and thirst that nothing else can reach — but the song doesn't stop at satisfaction; it keeps asking for more even while naming Jesus as the one source that actually works. 'We lift our holy hands up, we want to touch You' closes the physical vocabulary out with an actual gesture, treating worship as something the body does, not only something felt internally.
Lord I want more of You
Living Water rain down on me
Lord I need more of You
Living Breath of Life come fill me up
We are hungry, we are hungry
We are hungry for more of You
We are thirsty, oh Jesus
We are thirsty for more of You
Lord I want more of You
Holy Spirit rain down on me
Lord I need more of You
Living Breath of Life come fill me up
We lift our holy hands up
We want to touch You
We lift our voices higher
And higher and higher to You
